Lightroom photo organization help

Hello all,
I thought i found a post on here once about this but i can't seem to find it. if you know it please direct me to it! if not, well hopefully you can help..
I have a mac with only 120gb storage. So thats quickly running out but i bought an external hard drive. i was wondering if anyone has any pointers on a efficient process to go about importing, editing, then storing photos with catalogs?
Basically i was wondering if there is a good way to import them on to the computer, but then maybe relocate them to the external hard drive? but all refer to the same catalog?

David that is perfect! thank you so much! and also the generate smart previews advice is well taken!

Yes the smart preview just creates a small DNG file to represents the original. In the case of my D800 it turns 20 - 45mb NEFs into .5 - 3.5mb DNGs. For many that space savings is "nice", but considering a couple of events I shot last year... two in particular where I shot 2200 and 2500 images in a less than 7 hours... It can be "REALLY NICE".
